Anyone who went to COVID.gov on Friday hoping to find information about where to get their 10th booster was in for a big shock.
The website, created by the Biden administration to spread information about vaccines and other government COVID policies, now <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/lab-leak-true-origins-of-covid-19/">redirects to a page</a> explaining how the coronavirus originated in a Chinese lab.
&#8220;LAB LEAK: The True Origins of COVID-19&#8221; walks readers through the pandemic&#8217;s origins and exposes Dr. Anthony Fauci and other government officials who attempted to discredit the now-vindicated lab leak theory. The website explains how the coronavirus likely originated at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where a group called EcoHealth &#8220;used U.S. taxpayer dollars to facilitate dangerous gain-of-function research.&#8221;
Democrats and the mainstream media long dismissed this theory as a &#8220;conspiracy&#8221; and actively pushed a different narrative.
“&#8217;The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2&#8242; publication — which was used repeatedly by public health officials and the media to discredit the lab leak theory — was prompted by Dr. Fauci to push the preferred narrative that COVID-19 originated naturally,&#8221; the website says. &#8220;By nearly all measures of science, if there was evidence of a natural origin it would have already surfaced. But it hasn’t.&#8221;
&#8220;The American people deserve to know the truth about the Covid pandemic and we will always find ways to reach communities with that message,&#8221; a senior Trump administration official told Fox News.
The website makes the case against various government COVID recommendations, including mask mandates, lockdowns, and social distancing.
&#8220;There was no conclusive evidence that masks effectively protected Americans from COVID-19,&#8221; the website states. &#8220;Prolonged lockdowns caused immeasurable harm to not only the American economy, but also to the mental and physical health of Americans, with a particularly negative effect on younger citizens.&#8221;
It devotes an entire section to &#8220;New York Pandemic Failures,&#8221; which explains that then-Governor Andrew Cuomo and his administration &#8220;worked to cover up the tragic aftermath of their policy decisions in an apparent effort to shield themselves from accountability.&#8221;

In addition to Cuomo, the website singles out Fauci for claiming that the coronavirus &#8220;just sort of appeared,&#8221; and notes that Biden granted Fauci a &#8220;full and unconditional pardon&#8221; shortly before leaving office.

Federal agencies appear to be obstructing the release of documents that could provide vital insights into the Biden administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic and its broader global health agenda.
The <a href="https://gateway.zscalertwo.net/_sm_ctn?_sm_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.phralliance.org%2F&amp;_sm_rid=0kNJfQq1Jt3Vss1PNfNQFtvvn7McsctQP4Jq0TN&amp;_sm_cat=Miscellaneous%2Bor%2BUnknown">Public Health Reform Alliance</a>, an organization that advocates for increased transparency in the public health bureaucracy, submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) in October 2024, asking for the communications of Biden’s United States Global Health Security Coordinator, Stephanie Psaki. Psaki is the sister of Jen Psaki, who was Biden&#8217;s White House press secretary.
The government has thus far prevented the release of information, with the OSTP and the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) each denying that they have the documents, and redirecting the requester to the other agency.
There has been a massive political and social backlash to the secrecy, and apparent lies, regarding the origins of the coronavirus pandemic. Americans&#8217; lives were upended in the wake of the virus and the ensuing response from the government. Years after businesses were shuttered, vaccines were mandated, and students were held out of schools, Americans are still largely in the dark about what science it was all grounded in and how we&#8217;re working to make sure it never happens again.
The Public Health Reform Alliance has run into a series of roadblocks as its attempted to obtain documents that it says would shed light on the prior administration&#8217;s approach to an issue that intimately impacted the lives of everyday Americans. Its director, Martin Hoyt, told The Daily Wire that Psaki’s communications could be vital for understanding the government’s approach to global health issues, and for forecasting how the government might respond to future crises.
“After enduring the most serious public health emergency in a century, these communications may be an integral part of the U.S. government&#8217;s next response to a pandemic or health security threat. This is an issue of transparency,” Hoyt explained. “We need to understand the extent to which our public health establishment was aligned with, followed or bucked the guidance of unaccountable, politicized and possibly compromised bodies like the WHO.”
The younger Psaki served as a Senior Advisor on Human Rights and Gender Equity at the Department of Health and Human Services&#8217; Office of Global Affairs before taking her post at OSTP.
The Biden administration explained the <a href="https://bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Global-Health-Security-Strategy-2024-1.pdf">role</a> of the OSTP, writing in one report that it is tasked with leading “interagency science and technology policy coordination efforts” while also serving “as a source of scientific and technological analysis and judgment for the President with respect to major policies, plans, and programs of the Federal Government.”
OSTP rerouted the request from the Public Health Reform Alliance, informing the organization that the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) would handle the request for the documents.
“OSTP was unable to locate any responsive records because they have been transferred to the National Archives and Records Administration,” the office said in a February 19 email viewed by The Daily Wire.
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-906571 aligncenter" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/OSTP-FOIA-300x300.png" alt="" width="625" height="625" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/OSTP-FOIA-300x300.png 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/OSTP-FOIA-150x150.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px" /></div>
NARA then told the Public Health Reform Alliance on March 3 that it had received the request, before going on to inform the organization that it did not have custody of the documents in a follow up email on March 19. NARA then directed the Public Health Reform Alliance back to the OSTP, despite the White House office previously stating that the documents had already been transferred.
“I have confirmed this morning that the National Archives does not yet have legal custody of the records from the Office of Science and Technology Policy from the Biden administration,” the March 19 email read. “I apologize for routing you back to them, as I know they sent you to us, but until such time as legal custody is transferred, the Office of Science and Technology Policy must be the agency to respond to you.”
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-906581 aligncenter" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/NARA-FOIA-300x148.png" alt="" width="857" height="423" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/NARA-FOIA-300x148.png 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/NARA-FOIA-1024x505.png 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/NARA-FOIA-768x379.png 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/NARA-FOIA.png 1278w" sizes="(max-width: 857px) 100vw, 857px" /></div>
Then, after being directed to NARA by OSTP and back to OSTP by NARA, OSTP told the Public Health Reform Alliance again that it would have to receive the documents from NARA in a March 20 email.
“We submitted a search to the e-discovery component prior to the final letter. That search returned zero hits because the files have been transferred to NARA as indicated in our final correspondence,” that email from OSTP to the Public Health Reform Alliance read.
“The American public lived and, tragically, died by the government&#8217;s edicts and recommendations,” Hoyt told The Daily Wire. “The American public deserves to know how they were formulated as well as the true intent and direction that this government planned to lead the nation for the next five years.”
Neither the OSTP nor NARA responded to a request for comment.

The Biden administration reportedly hid a 2022 report from the Defense Department that stated seven military members might have contracted COVID-19 in Wuhan, China, as early as October 2019.
The <a href="https://freebeacon.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/2019-World-Military-Games-Report-1.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">December 2022 report</a> from the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness examined “the number of United States athletes and staff who attended the 2019 World Military Games and became ill with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-like symptoms during or shortly after their return to the United States.”
It added, “The Department of Defense (DoD) has concluded through correspondence with the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and United States of America Medical Director in charge of the safety and health of the participants in the 2019 World Military Games, that 7 Service members who attended the games exhibited COVID-19- like signs and/or symptoms during the timeframe of October 18, 2019 through January 21, 2020. The COVID-19-like symptoms could have been caused by other respiratory infections. All 7 Service members&#8217; symptoms resolved within 6 days.”
“The December 2022 report, which the Biden administration was required by law to release to the public over two years ago but didn’t, reveals for the first time that seven U.S. military service members contracted COVID-19-like symptoms during or after their participation in the World Military Games in Wuhan in October 2019—contradicting the Biden administration’s public claims in 2021 that there was no evidence that any American participants contracted the virus at those games,” <a href="https://freebeacon.com/biden-administration/biden-administration-concealed-congressionally-mandated-report-on-earliest-suspected-american-covid-cases/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Free Beacon</a>, which broke the story, noted, adding, “The revelation adds to a mounting body of evidence that the virus was circulating in Wuhan for months before China disclosed it to the world in December 2019 and further bolsters the growing consensus that it could have leaked into the human population from a Chinese lab.”
The report was not made public until last month when the Trump administration uploaded it to the Department of Defense website.
“The U.S. team used chartered flights to and from the games via Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Washington was one of the earliest states to show a spike in COVID-19,” The American Prospect<a href="https://prospect.org/coronavirus/did-the-military-world-games-spread-covid-19/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> reported</a> in June 2020.
In May 2020, The Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8327047/More-competitors-reveal-ill-World-Military-Games.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that athletes from different countries suspected they might have contracted COVID-19 at the 2019 World Military Games. French pentathlete Elodie Clouvel said she and her partner Valentin Belaud contracted COVID-19 at the Games. Italian fencer Matteo Tagliariol claimed everyone in his Wuhan apartment got “symptoms that looked like those of Covid-19.” Jacqueline Bock of the German volleyball team said, “After a few days, some athletes from my team got ill. I got sick in the last two days. I have never felt so sick. Either it was a very bad cold or Covid-19. I think it was Covid-19.”
“Taxpayers deserve to know the truth about COVID-19 origins, but the Biden administration concealed this information from the American people for years,” Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) told the Free Beacon. “This report should have been made public immediately and not restricted to Washington insiders. If Americans visiting Wuhan were potentially infected with the COVID-19 virus in October 2019, those claiming the pandemic began in a wet market just two months later would be completely off base.”

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya was confirmed Tuesday night by the Senate in a party-line vote to lead the National Institutes of Health.
The Senate voted 53-47 to confirm Bhattacharya with all Republicans supporting his nomination and every Democrat voting against confirming the Stanford School of Medicine medical professor. Bhattacharya has promised to bring more accountability to the NIH, which oversees tens of billions of dollars in federal grant dollars. 
“The mission of the NIH is to address the health needs the American people have and to expand life expectancy of the American people. And we have not achieved that. It’s flatlined,” Bhattacharya <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jay-bhattacharya-promises-to-bring-accountability-to-nih-after-covid-failure" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> during his confirmation hearing earlier this month before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee.
Bhattacharya widely rose to prominence during the COVID pandemic, when he was a sharp critic of the government-imposed lockdowns and was one of the first to express concerns about the safety and efficacy of vaccine mandates. During COVID, he was an advisor to Florida, aiding Governor Ron DeSantis in the reopening of the Sunshine State. 
“Science should be an engine for freedom. Knowledge and freedom … it shouldn’t be pushing mandates for vaccines like the COVID vaccines,” Bhattacharya said during his confirmation hearing. “The role of the scientist should not be to say that you can’t send your kid to school for two years.”
In his nomination announcement, President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-nominates-dr-jay-bhattacharya-to-lead-nih" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that Bhattacharya would work alongside Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to “Make America Healthy Again” and “restore the NIH to a Gold Standard of Medical Research as they examine the underlying causes of, and solutions to, America’s biggest Health challenges, including our Crisis of Chronic Illness and Disease.”
Bhattacharya also promised during his confirmation hearing that he would support experiments that take different approaches to an issue, saying that much of the established scientific community has failed to provide satisfactory answers. 
On Tuesday, the Senate <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-names-marty-makary-to-lead-food-and-drug-administration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">also voted</a> 56-44 to confirm Dr. Marty Makary to head up the Food and Drug Administration. Democrat Senators Dick Durbin (IL), Maggie Hassan (NH), and Jeanne Shaheen (NH) joined Republicans in voting for Makary. 
When he nominated Makary, Trump said that he would work with RFK Jr. to “properly evaluate harmful chemicals poisoning our Nation’s food supply and drugs and biologics being given to our Nation’s youth, so that we can finally address the Childhood Chronic Disease Epidemic.”

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya promised on Wednesday to bring sunlight to the National Institutes of Health if confirmed as the agency’s director. 
Speaking before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, Bhattacharya rebuked the NIH for its behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic, which he said did great damage to trust in scientists and academic institutions. Bhattacharya, an outspoken critic of the COVID lockdowns, was one of the first to express concerns about the safety and efficacy of vaccine mandates. 
A professor at the Stanford School of Medicine, Bhattacharya promised to bring greater transparency to the American people about the NIH&#8217;s research, which he said had failed in its fundamental mission.
&#8220;The mission of the NIH is to address the health needs the American people have and to expand life expectancy of the American people. And we have not achieved that. It&#8217;s flatlined,&#8221; he said.
This failure, paired with a massive loss in &#8220;trust in the public health establishment&#8221; during COVID, made clear the need for the NIH to reestablish trust with the American people, Bhattacharya said. 
Bhattacharya rose to prominence for his opposition to COVID lockdowns and later his concerns that COVID vaccines posed some health risks, specifically for young men. 
&#8220;Science should be an engine for freedom. Knowledge and freedom &#8230; it shouldn&#8217;t be pushing mandates for vaccines like the COVID vaccines,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The role of the scientist should not be to say that you can&#8217;t send your kid to school for two years.&#8221;
Reflecting on his experience during the COVID pandemic, Bhattacharya said that he was &#8220;tremendously proud&#8221; to advise Florida&#8217;s response to the pandemic, which sent kids back to schools way earlier than California with little to no negative impact.
Bhattacharya condemned the censorship that was pushed by the Biden administration against critics of the vaccine mandates at the time. He said during the pandemic there was a problem of &#8220;censorship and restriction&#8221; of science&#8221; and that the &#8220;root problem was that people who had alternative ideas were suppressed.&#8221;
Bhattacharya said that he himself was the victim of pressure campaigns by the Biden administration and that the Freedom of Information Act requests he filed during the pandemic were returned fully redacted.
&#8220;You can&#8217;t have trust unless you are transparent,&#8221; Bhattacharya said, saying that that Americans should be able to &#8220;see all of the activities of the NIH openly.&#8221;
Other topics discussed during the hearing included proposed cuts to NIH funding of universities and research institutions, as well as vaccines and autism. Moderate Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) pushed Bhattacharya to disavow Trump&#8217;s cap on funding for indirect funding, which he said he would evaluate if confirmed.
Bhattacharya would help allocate tens of billions of dollars in funding if confirmed by the Senate.

Senator Marsha Blackburn (TN) introduced a bill on Thursday that would make President Donald Trump’s withdrawal from the World Health Organization permanent, barring massing reform. 
The <a href="https://www.blackburn.senate.gov/services/files/E5F2FE62-438C-4157-98FE-439FA3126326" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bill</a> would block taxpayer dollars from either funding WHO programs or American membership in the organization unless the organization took significant steps to demonstrate independence from China and root out leftist ideology. Blackburn&#8217;s fellow Republican Senators John Barrasso (WY), Rick Scott (FL), and Ted Cruz joined Blackburn in putting the legislation forward.
“The World Health Organization has long been a puppet for the Chinese Communist Party, grossly mismanaging the COVID pandemic and taking over a billion dollars of U.S. funding without advancing our interests,” Blackburn told The Daily Wire. “We must support President Trump’s actions to hold the WHO accountable by ensuring any future president who wants to rejoin meets concrete conditions of improvement.”
The bill would codify Trump’s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-orders-u-s-to-withdraw-from-world-health-organization" target="_blank" rel="noopener">day one executive order</a> withdrawing the United States from the organization, citing WHO handling of COVID and demands for &#8220;onerous&#8221; and unfair payments. 
Under certain conditions, the legislation said that it would be possible for the United States to rejoin WHO. These conditions include the WHO adopting reforms to ensure that humanitarian aid is not politicized, demonstrate independence from the Chinese Communist Party, grant observer status to Taiwan, and end funding or promotion of things like abortion, climate change, and sex-change procedures. 
Another condition would stipulate that humanitarian aid and medical supplies could not be diverted to Iran, Syria, and North Korea. 
“American tax dollars cannot be used to fund the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) and World Health Organization’s (WHO) cover-up of the COVID-19 pandemic. The mismanagement, failed transparency, and lack of independence at the WHO is inexcusable,” Barrasso told The Daily Wire. “Our bill ensures that not one penny of taxpayer money is spent rejoining the WHO if serious reforms aren’t made to prevent another failed pandemic response.”
A companion version has been introduced in the House by Republican Representatives Jodey Arrington (TX), Ron Estes (KS), Greg Steube (FL), and Anna Paulina Luna (FL).
When Trump issued the executive order last month to pull America out of WHO, he said that the country was paying too much to be a member of the United Nations-backed organization in comparison to other countries like China. 
“So we paid $500 million to World Health when I was here and I terminated it,” Trump said, adding that it “seemed a little unfair” because China was paying around $39 million to the organization. 
Trump ended American participation in WHO back in 2020, but that decision was later reversed by Joe Biden.

Hollywood star Woody Harrelson torched Dr. Anthony Fauci, former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and said Fauci has done some “extraordinary evil s**t” and knows it.
During his recent appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience” <a href="https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1893765243815526484">podcast</a>, the 63-year-old actor and host both said they were hopeful that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — who has been sworn in as President Donald Trump’s Secretary of Health and Human Services — could right some of the wrongs they attributed to Fauci.
“Bobby (RFK Jr.), I really hope he’s able to do some good because he’s certainly a man on a mission,” Harrelson said. “And a man who cares deeply. And I think really heroic how much he stood up for things that he didn’t need to talk about … he just took one arrow after the other over it.”
Rogan admitted he once bought into the “propaganda” against Kennedy and said that he too used to think RFK Jr. was a “kook.” He said then he read his book “The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health (Children’s Health Defense)” and changed his mind.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
WOODY: “AZT was known to be a highly toxic, really ineffective drug. And of course that was the one they picked … That k*lled friends of mine … Fauci did some extraordinarily evil sh*t, and he knows what he did.” <a href="https://t.co/nvxmaukv3X">pic.twitter.com/nvxmaukv3X</a>
— Chief Nerd (@TheChiefNerd) <a href="https://twitter.com/TheChiefNerd/status/1893464627368919086?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 23, 2025</a></blockquote>
&#8220;If all these things [RFK] is saying about Anthony Fauci during the AIDS crisis, if that&#8217;s not true, why is he not getting sued?&#8221; the podcast host said. 
&#8220;I would sue the f**k outta him if he lied about me and said that I was vaccinating foster kids with experimental drugs that were killing them,” he added.
&#8220;The Hunger Games” star criticized the fact that “Fauci was able to get these principal investigators from like all these respectable colleges and put them on these committees&#8230;&#8221;
“He [Fauci] started with the AZT thing [to fight AIDS],” the three-time Oscar nominee said. “And, you know, AZT was known to be a highly toxic, really ineffective drug, and of course, that was the one they picked.”
“And so they started using that again, and I don’t know how many people that killed,” he added. “That killed friends of mine. AZT was very toxic and they finally had to yank it. And now they use different chemical cocktails, but like, Fauci did some extraordinarily evil s**t. And he knows what he did.”
The podcast host pointed out that the Matthew McConaughey movie “Dallas Buyers Club” dealt with the AIDS epidemic — and said that the villain in the movie was based on Fauci.
“That was about people trying to seek alternative treatments to deal with AIDS … that’s Fauci, that’s AZT,” Rogan said. “Magic Johnson got on AZT and it was killing him and he got off of it.”
Harrelson pointed out that Johnson is still alive, suggesting it was because he stopped taking the drug.

Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/alexandria-ocasio-cortez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez</a> (D-NY) claimed during a recent interview that the reason Americans survived the COVID-19 pandemic was because of illegal aliens.
AOC made the remarks during an interview with Maria Hinojosa on Latino USA while talking about the subject of illegal immigration.
&#8220;These are human beings, but they are also assets to the United States of America,&#8221; AOC said. &#8220;Now, when I move to the economic case, I want to say first that, yes, it is fraught, you know, because it is painful to see sometimes people only talk about the economic case because we&#8217;re more than just a labor force. We&#8217;re more than just a people to be exploited.&#8221;
Ocasio-Cortez said that people who vote on the issue of illegal immigration are not compassionate and do not see the &#8220;humanity&#8221; in people.
&#8220;And so if you want to be hard-nosed about it, understand that America&#8217;s immigration force and our community of immigrants, including and especially the millions of undocumented people in this country, are why America has prospered, especially why we survived the COVID-19 pandemic,&#8221; she claimed.
&#8220;And for all of the people who cast a vote based on grocery prices and inflation, if you think your groceries are expensive now, wait until the farms are empty,&#8221; she said. &#8220;If you think houses are expensive now, wait until there&#8217;s no one building them.&#8221;
The socialist lawmaker claimed that America not accepting illegal aliens into the country was &#8220;the definition of cutting off your nose to spite your face.&#8221;

Liberal comedian <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/bill-maher" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bill Maher</a> slammed the political Left&#8217;s protection of communist China during the Friday night broadcast of his HBO show &#8220;Real Time.&#8221;
Maher made the remarks while discussing the growing list of problems that the communist nation is causing the world and the threats that they pose, ranging from hacks to dangerous apps like DeepSeek and TikTok.
&#8220;It is kind of an evil empire,&#8221; Maher said. &#8220;And this kind of gets back to the DEI thing because when you make everything about race, not good!&#8221;
&#8220;I mean, we couldn&#8217;t look into the origins of COVID being from the lab, which now the CIA, this week, has joined the FBI and many other organizations saying it probably did come from a lab,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I said it from the beginning. It&#8217;s being studied in this lab where it breaks out. Really? We&#8217;re gonna even wonder about this?&#8221;
He said curiosity about where the pandemic originated from was stifled because organizations like The New York Times &#8220;said to even look into that is racist.&#8221;
&#8220;China&#8217;s like the new Islam,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We can&#8217;t be honest about them because they&#8217;re not white. And China, okay, I&#8217;m sorry, kids, they do some bad things, China. And we should just recognize that.&#8221;

CIA Director John Ratcliffe said during an interview over the weekend that the world&#8217;s leading intelligence agency was now investigating whether the COVID-19 pandemic was an accident or if it was intentional.
Ratcliffe made the remarks during a Sunday interview on &#8220;Sunday Morning Futures&#8221; while discussing his decision to release the findings from a new assessment that was conducted the Biden administration that concluded that the pandemic originated from a lab in Wuhan.
Ratcliffe said that the reason that he released the intelligence was because it was important for Americans to regain trust in government institutions.
&#8220;I had the opportunity on my first day to make public an assessment that actually took place in the Biden administration,&#8221; Ratcliffe said. &#8220;So it can&#8217;t be accused of being political, and it does assess, the CIA has assessed that the most likely cause of this pandemic that has wrought so much devastation around the world was because of a lab related incident in Wuhan, and so we&#8217;ll continue to investigate that moving forward.&#8221;
When asked by host Maria Bartiromo if the CIA has concluded whether or not the lab leak was &#8220;intentional or accidental,&#8221; Ratcliffe responded: &#8220;I&#8217;m going to look closely at the intelligence that we&#8217;ve gathered.&#8221;
&#8220;I think we&#8217;ll get to the point where every intelligence agency in the United States will agree with the CIA&#8217;s assessment that the most likely outcome was from from a lab in Wuhan,&#8221; he added. &#8220;And we&#8217;ll get more intelligence as time goes by, and we&#8217;ll be transparent with the American people about what that intelligence says.&#8221;

CIA Director Ratcliffe: Agency Now Evaluating If China Intentionally Started Pandemic

President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> announced Thursday that he would commute the sentences of around 1500 people, many of whom were moved from prison and placed into home confinement during the height of the COVID lockdowns. 
In addition to those granted clemency, Biden said he was also pardoning 39 people convicted of non-violent crimes, including drug offenses. In total, the White House said that Biden&#8217;s actions “represent the largest single-day grant of clemency in modern history.”
“The President has issued more sentence commutations at this point in his presidency than any of his recent predecessors at the same point in their first terms,” the White House said. “In the coming weeks, the President will take additional steps to provide meaningful second chances and continue to review additional pardons and commutations.”
The White House said that one person he pardoned is &#8220;a decorated military veteran and pilot.&#8221;
“These individuals are parents, veterans, health care professionals, teachers, advocates, and engaged members of their communities. Many of them have used their experiences in the criminal justice system to inspire and encourage others,” the White House said. 
The White House said as his term winds down, Biden would &#8220;continue to review clemency petitions and deliver criminal justice reform in a manner that advances equity and justice, promotes public safety, supports rehabilitation and reentry, and provides meaningful second chances.&#8221;

Biden previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bidens-mass-pardon-for-marijuana-possession-likely-benefitting-offenders-guilty-of-worse-crimes-expert-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rolled out</a> a mass pardon for those convicted of simple marijuana possession. That mass pardon was criticized by critics who said it would benefit people who were arrested for more serious crimes but plea-bargained down.
“You are going to have a very large number of people affected by this who were charged with something far more serious so that the government had leverage to get them to cooperate, and then they pled it down to a simple misdemeanor possession,” said Paul Larkin at the time, a senior legal research fellow at The Heritage Foundation.
The White House’s announcement on Thursday comes after Biden was widely criticized for giving a sweeping pardon to his son Hunter after promising not to do so. Hunter was facing potential prison time for gun and tax crime convictions. 
One recent Associated Press—NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll found that only 22% of Americans approved of the Hunter pardon. While 38% of Democrats supported the pardon, just 12% of independents did, and only 7% of Republicans.

House lawmakers released their final comprehensive report on COVID on Monday detailing how government officials misled the public about the origins of the pandemic. 
The <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/12.04.2024-SSCP-FINAL-REPORT.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">520-page report</a> from the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic covered everything from school closures to gain-of-function research to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/fauci-unmasked" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anthony Fauci</a>’s leadership of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The release of the report comes after the committee spent two years conducting over 30 transcribed interviews and depositions, holding 25 hearings and meetings, and going over over one million pages of documents. 
“The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted a distrust in leadership. Trust is earned,” Chair Brad Wenstrup (R-OH) wrote in a letter accompanying the report. “Accountability, transparency, honesty, and integrity will regain this trust. A future pandemic requires a whole of America response managed by those without personal benefit or bias. We can always do better, and for the sake of future generations of Americans, we must. It can be done.”
One of the key findings of the report was that COVID likely originated and leaked out of a lab, a view that was once banned by Facebook but now echoed by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/covid-likely-leaked-from-wuhan-lab-senate-gop-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senate Republicans</a> and the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/china-responds-to-u-s-energy-departments-revised-wuhan-lab-leak-theory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Energy</a>. The report said that COVID “likely emerged because of a laboratory or research related accident.”
The report noted that public officials from both China and the United States tried to hide facts that might confirm the lab leak theory. “The Chinese government, agencies within the U.S. Government, and some members of the international scientific community sought to cover-up facts concerning the origins of the pandemic,” the report said. 
For example, the lawmakers said that Fauci prompted the writing of an academic paper to undermine the lab leak theory in early 2020. The paper, known as “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pandemic-origins-subcommittee-suggests-fauci-prompted-doctors-to-draft-paper-to-disprove-lab-leak-theory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">argued</a> that it was not plausible for the virus to come from a lab. 
The lawmakers further concluded that the NIH funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. According to the report, this research was facilitated by the EcoHealth Alliance and Peter Daszak, who the government <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hhs-moves-to-defund-ecohealth-alliance-says-action-needed-to-protect-the-public-interest" target="_blank" rel="noopener">moved to bar</a> from future federal funding earlier this year.

The report accused former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo of “medical malpractice,” saying that he acted to publicly cover “up the total number of nursing home fatalities in New York.”  The panel previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-panel-refers-andrew-cuomo-to-doj-for-criminal-prosecution-over-covid-testimony" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made a criminal referra</a>l against Cuomo for allegedly lying about his knowledge of a report that was used to defend a New York policy that placed COVID patients in nursing homes.
Additionally, the report was critical of the Biden administration&#8217;s vaccine mandate, which was later struck down by the Supreme Court. The lawmakers wrote that the government was currently failing &#8220;to efficiently, fairly, and transparently adjudicate claims for the COVID-19 vaccine injured.&#8221;
Other findings of the report were that lockdowns of schools caused significant learning challenges for children and that pandemic aid was plagued by fraud and waste. Wenstrup wrote that the lockdowns were overly strict and broad and caused &#8220;predictable anguish and avoidable consequences.&#8221;
“Just a few short years ago, arguing that COVID came from a Chinese lab and that lockdowns &amp; authoritarian measures didn’t work would get you censored and kicked from social media,” Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) said of the report. “This report will stand as a warning for future generations of what NOT to do.”
